Zig zagging divers
bomb the feeder, blinded by
bright red elixir.

This one really captures the nature of the little spaceships flitting around. Did you know they have crazy long tongues. One flew into our glass door a few years ago and knocked itself out. So that the cats wouldn't get it I ran out and picked it up while it recovered. Its tongue was sticking out and it was something like three times as long as the hummingbird's body. Wild!
